Anyways, I can't believe my brother's cake made it into the hallowed galleries of cake-wreckiness!! Just in case y'all were wondering, no, Stetson's NOT a stepson. And, no, this wasn't a dial-a-wreck, either. My mom oredred the cake in person at the bakery, and she did actually spell out my brother's name, very carefully and slowly, since it's an unusual name. Still, the decorator obviously had no clue. "Stetson? What's that? I ain't never heard of it, I think they must've meant STEPSON. Yeah, that's it...what a lovely message for any child!" The only thing that could've made it better would have been quotes around the word "Stepson". Haha! :P Thank you, Jen!Natalie B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-51303301381911064412008-11-18T18:04:00.000-05:002008-11-18T18:04:00.000-05:00Ok, that's it.

So when I saw this cake and read that it was a spelling error on the name rather than a cold step-parent rubbing their step-kid's nose into their own status, my first thought was Sarah Palin. I mean, come on! The names of her kids! It's almost like they popped out and were named after the first thing that she clapped eyes on at that very moment. <BR/><BR/>(and for added 'fnar fnar' value, as well as being a city in the UK, Bristol (one of Palin's daughters name) is also used as slang for . . . um . . . a nice pair of breasts.
